We are thankful to be welcome on these lands in friendship. The lands we are situated on are covered by the Williams Treaties and are the traditional territory of the Mississaugas, a branch of the greater Anishinaabeg Nation, including Algonquin, Ojibway, Odawa and Pottawatomi. These lands remain home to many Indigenous nations and peoples.

We acknowledge this land out of respect for the Indigenous nations who have cared for Turtle Island, also called North America, from before the arrival of settler peoples until this day. Most importantly, we acknowledge that the history of these lands has been tainted by poor treatment and a lack of friendship with the First Nations who call them home.

This history is something we are all affected by because we are all treaty people in Canada. We all have a shared history to reflect on, and each of us is affected by this history in different ways. Our past defines our present, but if we move forward as friends and allies, then it does not have to define our future.

What is Liberal Studies?

Housed in the Faculty of Social Science and Humanities (FSSH), our new Liberal Studies program presents a unique opportunity for students to explore and develop knowledge and skills across disciplines. The program is designed to equip students with the skills and knowledge necessary to adapt to and thrive in a dynamic employment environment. The combination of required first-year courses common to all FSSH programs, two compulsory Liberal Studies courses and many elective choices will provide students with guidance and flexibility in course choices to develop as self-directed, lifelong learners.

Graduates from the Liberal Studies program will have a wide and solid academic foundation, preparing them for a range of professions and employment opportunities.
